Why I decided to blog

About a week ago i realized that i wanted to start a blog that is different to the rest. Every second blog i see these days are either about fashion or beauty. Don't get me wrong i love the blogs and a few of them are very interesting but they all seem to have the same story line so i decided to start a blog that has nothing to do with fashion but more about the volunteer work that I've been doing and more about what i am studying and what my inspirations in life are. 

                   

Carol's day care centre 

Every blog will have a different story line, some will be about New Kidz the organisation i am now a activist for and a volunteer. New Kidz is an organization which specialize in mini make overs in order to create awareness about the +- 8 million orphans in South Africa. I will also be covering topics like Montessori Education, the course i am currently studying.  Montessori education is an educational approach developed by Italian physician and educator Maria montessori based on her extensive experience in special education. Montessori education is practiced in an estimated 7,000 schools worldwide, serving children from birth to eighteen years old. Montessori education is characterized by an emphasis on independence, freedom within limits and respect for a child’s natural psychological development. 

so why blog about the things close to my heart? so that one day when im gone i'll leave a legacy behind for hopefully inspiring someone else to do good and maybe help someone out there who like me also never knew what their true calling in life was but was inspired by what was written in my blog. Many blogs out there are about reviews on this event, or that event, about whats the latest fashion trend to follow and many are not truly writing for the joys of writing but for the free gifts that come along with it. I understand that some people want to be international writers and blogs help them by pursuing their dream, some people monopolise on the idea of having a blog,eg. she has a blog and she gets free things maybe i should start one as well so i can get free stuff. What ever happened to working hard for what you really want?! 

"Im not doing this for the free stuff or the popularity, Im doing this for me". 

When you see how people boast about the free things they got from this company and that company at this event where they got a press pass sometimes makes you think that a lot of the blogs written is no longer about viewing their opinions on or the actual reason they all claim to have started blogging. There's one blogger I will always admire and that's Zahrah Perry from the Perry Book Blog she is an inspiration to all up and coming bloggers and her words in her blogs never seem to amaze me.

My blog is for my children one day, and hopefully to open doors in the writing industry for myself, so that I can write stories be it fiction or non fiction but so that my stories will be admired and loved by others. My blog is also for when I'm old and grey I will be able to tell my grand children that was grannies writings. 

So if you reading my very first blog post, I sincerely hope that you follow my blog regularly and that you give me your input be it good or bad. 

Till next time...
